Berlin – The Philippine Embassy in Berlin, composed of Consul Gabriel Bautista, Ms. Generosa Balocating, Ms. Melinda Hernais, Mr. Ruben Atienza, Ms. Lianna Judith Sale, Ms. Mylah Rubio and Mr. Melchor Francisco, conducted a mobile consular outreach service in Bonn on 12 July 2014.
Using a pre-registration system, and ably assisted by the Filipino community in Bonn, the consular team was able to accommodate Filipino applicants who arrived early at St. Winfried Church in Sträßchenweg.
The team facilitated 143 passport applications, with a total of 174 services rendered. The majority of services included passport renewal and overseas absentee voting registration.
Many Filipinos traveled from across the North Rhine Westphalia area to process their consular documents.
The one-day activity was the Embassy’s fourth consular mobile outreach for the year following those held in Hamburg in March, Stuttgart in April and Bochum in June 2014.
Seven consular mobile outreach activities have been planned for 2014, which will cover the cities of Hamburg, Stuttgart, Bochum, Bonn, Frankfurt, Munich and Essen. The mobile outreach is part of the Philippine Embassy’s efforts to bring its consular services closer to Filipinos residing in different parts of Germany. The next consular outreach services will take place in Frankfurt on 2 August 2014 and in Essen on 18 October 2014.
